Civilization and the Coat Tail.

AS the race degenerates and civilization
grows effeminate the effect is seen upon the
coat tail 1t gradually recedes 1t surrenders
more and more of its rights and privileges.
Its area of independent activity is narrowed
until it sinks to the degraded station of cuta-
way. The "steel pen," the "claw hammer"
the "spade'-for there are various terms of re-
proach and ignominy employed to indicate
the state of bjection-mark the extreme
period of luxurious and effete decay After
this its fall is rapid. The fall, paradoxically
enough, consists in crawling up the back, until
the once respectable and impressive member
of the body polite of dress becomes mere

EARTHQUAKE SKETCHES.
SCENES AFTER THE LATE SHAKING
UP OF THE RIVIERA.

Sketches Showing How Terrible Was
the Destruction Worked by that Terri
BILE Convulsion of Nature-Stories of
Experiences Not Before Related.
With all the boosted rapiditt of these
modern days it still takes a long time compare
lively to send anything more material than
an electrical impulse from Europe to America,
and SO it is not till now that pictures of the
devastation worked by the earthquakes of tho
Italian Riviera have come to hand.
The two pictures here presented are
from photographs and must give a very
fair idea of the terrible destruction
wrought by the disturbances The
first one represents the Ecole Mater
nellie at St. Etienne, Nice, the building, by
the falling of which Nine. Cheylon the
schoolmistress, was killed. Through the
gaping walls of the Villa Cipolino Mentone,
represented in the other cut, may be seen
tables and other articles of furniture thrown
into disorder by the motion of the quake.
OF course, you have read all the
details of the catastrophe. The Men
tone correspondent of The Pail Mall
Gazette, London, tells this story of
his flight by carriage from the scene:

quite terrible So many of the pretty white

round the fire and waited for the shocks
again. Twice they came, and once we rushed
out into the kitchen where all the inhabi-
tants of the place apparently We're sitting, to
protect us, they saidD by way of getting into
the open, but here mine host assured us that
it was only the horses in the stable near
stamping, which had shaken our room and
we returned, not convinced, to our vigil
round the fire. No one who has ever felt an
earthquake shock could ever mistake it.
There is something SO subtle, so steady, SC
ruthless about it; one feels so helpless, one
has absolutely no idea what to do; one stands,
plante la, at bay.
"At 5, more hard boiled eggs and coffee; at

where we might take the train to Turin. The
cold of that drive was intense, and the danger
of it-through the mountain passes, among
huge powders of rock and through the occa-

not inconsiderable; but Cueno came at last,

The copious rains which have fallen in
this vicinity recently have done their

garden stuff has an unprecedented growth,

What has proved to be one Of the most
singular transactions yet recorded in this
place, was related last evening by Mr.. An
ton Klaus, the incident having been acci-
dentally called to, mind.
Shortly after Mr.. Klaus built the
jamestown Roller Mills, in 1880, and
while Klaus, Fox & Co. ran the same, the
firm one day wanted some old hard wheat
to mix with the new grain then just
coming into market. Pat Moran, one of
the pioneers and best known farmers of
the county, had some 800 bushels Of old
grain, which, not desiring to sell out
right, he loaned to the mill on condition
that he was to call for his money when
ever he desired, and that he was to re-
ceive one cent above the elevator price,
whatever that was at the time he demand
ed payment. This transaction occurred
as Mr.. Klaus memorandum book shows,
four OF five years ago, and Mr.. Moran has
not yet called for his money. He has said he
would never demand payment until he
could get dollar q bushel, and 80 the
matter stands. Mr.. Klaus at one time
offered him IS cents for the grain, to close
the deal, when the mill was bought by
the Russell Miller Co. but Pat stood true
to his vow, and yet has the wheat coming
or, the price due thereof as agreed in
those gorgeous days when the great boom
thundered over the prairies. Most peo-
pie would cay now, that if Mr.. Moran
still clings to his determination to get 9
dollar bushel for his grain, he will wait
as long again; but stranger things than
that have happened, and when No. ] gets
to the dollar mark no one will be more
glad to pay that price than MI. Klaus
